Goody's boyfriend Jack Tweed is jailed

Jade Goody's on-off lover Jack Tweed has been jailed for 18 months for attacking a teenager.

The 21-year-old and his friend James Mattock, 29, were found guilty of assault at Chelmsford Crown Court this morning. They are expected to spend nine months in prison.

Tweed and Mattock were accused of instigating an altercation with Daniel Steele, 18, in December 2006.

The judge, Recorder Mark Lurcraft QC, noted that there was evidence that the pair used golf clubs and a spray can as weapons.

"It was a frightening scene and a traumatic experience," said Lurcraft. "You went, it seems to me, with one purpose - to attack and to have a fight."

Steele suffered injuries to his head, face and chest.

Jurors were informed that Tweed had spoken to Steele shortly before the attack, when he was verbally abused by group of youths. The prosecution claimed that Tweed wanted to teach Steele "a lesson".

The judge accepted that there was "goading and provocation" before the assault, but insisted both men were "culpable".
